Gear We Love

Our tried and true favorites for a life at sea.

We’ve tested a lot of gear on our journey, from essentials that keep us safe, to little luxuries that make life at sea smoother. Here’s the gear we actually use and love. If you buy something through our links, we may earn a small commission (at no cost to you), which helps keep Sailing Kismet afloat, literally and digitally. Thank you for supporting us!

GALLEY FAVORITES

It is compact, needs no electricity, and brings the fizz wherever we drop anchor.

Extra Soda Bottles

Extra soda bottles mean we’re always ready with a cold drink. Prep a few ahead and stay refreshed without the wait.

CO₂ canisters keep the bubbles coming. Easy to swap, no power needed, and last a long time.

Instant Pot

Our Instant Pot is the galley’s secret weapon, beans, roast, rice, even yogurt.

Bread Maker

Our bread maker brings the smell of fresh-baked goodness right to the boat.

Magma Nesting Pots

Magma nesting pots are our galley MVP, cook like a pro, then stash 'em like a ninja.
